  February 2023: The SARS-CoV-2 Total Antibody Test was just released by NanoSpot.ai in the European market. The agglutination-based technology and a smartphone app with artificial intelligence (AI) are used to carry out the semi-quantitative antibody test at the point of care. The item was certified by the company in May, enabling its use in the European Union and other countries that recognize the CE Mark. The whole process, from sample collection to result acquisition, is finished in less than three minutes and does not require the use of a sophisticated diagnostic tool. The test has shown to be 100% specific and 97.6% sensitive, making it appropriate for usage in both personal and professional situations.
